PLECTRUM
A remarkable string that prompts comments
like: “l never knew a string like this existed!”.
The combination of lower overall tension,
hybrid arrangement of flatwounds (A,D,G) with
roundwound low E, and silk inlays (for precise
overtone balance) produces a beautiful, almost
classical tone, with the warmth of bronze and
the easy playability of a fine set of jazz strings.
And because of its low, evenly balanced tensions,
PLECTRUMS can extend the playing life
of many fine older guitars with weak bracing or
other special age conditions.
Die Kombination von geringerer Gesamt spannung
sowie einer gemeinsamen Anordnung
von Flat Wounds (A,D,G) mit einem Round
Wound tiefem E und Seideneinlagen (präzise
aus ba lan cierte Ober töne) ergibt einen wunderschö
nen, fast klassi schen, warmen Klang; sie
sind leicht spielbar wie ein Satz guter Jazzsaiten.
Aufgrund der geringen, gleichmäßig
verteilten Spannung, können PLECTRUMs
die Lebensdauer so mancher hervorragenden
älteren Gitarre mit dünner Decke oder anderen
altersbedingten Schwächen bedeutend
verlängern.

CHANGING STRINGS
GENERAL
JOHN PEARSE FOLK
The bass strings E, A, d are round wound
on a nylon core for a big warm sound without
distracting picking noises. The treble strings
are flatwound nylon on a rope core and sound
brighter than nylon strings.
JOHN PEARSE is the perfect set for acoustic
fingerstyle guitar.
Die tiefen Saiten E, A, d sind runddrahtumsponnen
auf Nylon und bringen beim Fingerpicking
volle, runde Bässe ohne metallisches
Anzupf geräusch. Die hohen Saiten werden
über einem Seilkern nylonbandumsponnen
und klingen daher etwas heller als Nylon saiten.
Der ideale Satz für Folk Fingerpicking.

As a string is played, metal is physically worn off from the windings, especially in areas where
there is contact with the frets. Also, the acid in the sweat of the player’s hands will cause
further deterioration where the fingers come in contact with the strings. As this occurs over
a period of time, the string will no longer have a uniform mass and will not play true. At this
point the richness in overtones is diminished, and the volume of sound decreased.
String life can be somewhat prolonged by wiping the strings with a dry lint-free cloth after
each playing session. Avoid using oils or grease, as they will mute the metals and could cause
the windings to slip and become loose (which affects intonation and tone, effectively ruining
the string).
The matter of when, and how often, to change strings is a somewhat subjective decision. The
general rule is to change the set before your strings have deteriorated to the point that tone and
intonation are affected. It is highly recommended to change the entire set at the same time,
in order to retain proper string to string balance and volume. Action and intonation should be
checked periodically, such as when changing strings, even when replacing them with the same
style and gauge, as minor variations can occur. Also, weather changes or different climactic
conditions encountered in traveling can affect a guitar’s action and intonation.
It is important to always check action and intonation, and make adjustments if necessary,
when changing string styles or gauges. Especially if trying strings of a lighter gauge for the
first time, it may be necessary to make some adjustments to the bridge, neck, nut and truss
rod, to restore proper action and to prevent string buzz.
When the instrument is not in use, do not release the tension of any of the strings, as this is
harmful to both the instrument and the strings.
All strings are vailable in bulk
